The Pittsburgh Steelers made a few moves at the fullback position earlier this offseason as Derek Watt was added via free agency and the team’s previous starter at the position, Roosevelt Nix, was released not too much later. Watt, who is also already a well-established special teams player in the NFL, is also now the second-highest paid fullback in the NFL after signing a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Steelers. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about Watt on Thursday and specifically what he thinks the team’s new fullback can bring to the offense in his first season in Pittsburgh.
